Ovarian premature aging can lead to hair loss. The reason that ovarian premature aging causes hair loss is mainly due to hormonal changes resulting from the decline in ovarian function, which leads to significant changes in both skin and hair. Some patients may experience dry skin, brittle hair, and even hair loss, severely affecting their appearance. Therefore, if ovarian decline occurs, it is important to take care of the ovaries. One should enhance their immune system, ensure adequate rest, increase sleep, avoid anxiety to achieve hormonal balance. It is also advised to balance work and rest, maintain a harmonious sex life, keep a cheerful and optimistic mood, avoid being picky or dieting, and ensure a balanced nutrition.

Postpartum hair loss starts from when?

Postpartum hair loss generally occurs around two to three months after childbirth and usually stops on its own within six months, typically not lasting longer than one year. Postpartum hair loss is actually a resting state of the scalp for the mother, and is a physiological phenomenon. There are various reasons for postpartum hair loss, such as insufficient sleep during pregnancy, significant blood loss and anemia during childbirth, and inadequate nutrition during pregnancy. Additionally, hormonal changes during the postpartum period and breastfeeding can also cause hair loss. It is important not to be overly anxious about postpartum hair loss. Paying attention to nutrition and ensuring adequate sleep can help alleviate the condition on its own.

What are the common causes of hair loss?

The most common cause of hair loss is generally related to genetic factors. For instance, if parents experience hair loss, their children are likely to encounter the same issue. Hair loss can also be associated with hormonal imbalances; an excessive secretion of male hormones can lead to hair loss. It is related to infection factors as well, such as infection with Malassezia bacteria on the scalp, which can cause erythema and papules on the head, and significant hair loss with dandruff. Psychological factors also play a significant role in hair loss. Excessive mental stress, anxiety, and poor sleep can lead to the release of stress-related substances by the body, causing the hair follicle growth cycle to shorten and leading to hair loss. Therefore, it is advisable to visit a dermatology department at a reputable hospital for a timely examination to identify the specific causes and undergo treatment under a doctor's guidance with appropriate medications.

Why does kidney qi deficiency cause hair loss?

Hair loss caused by insufficient kidney qi is mostly due to poor digestion in the gastrointestinal tract, which means nutrients cannot keep up, leading to hair loss. To address kidney qi deficiency, you can consume foods like dates, brown sugar, adzuki beans, Chinese yam, and coix seed in your regular diet. These can effectively help replenish kidney qi and improve symptoms. Additionally, consuming more leeks, spring onions, or taking medication that supplements kidney qi can effectively treat the condition. It is also important to rest more, avoid frequent masturbation, and not engage in excessive sexual activity to avoid aggravating the condition. Most importantly, avoid staying up late.
